Voices of Dragons (Carrie Vaughn) читать бесплатно онлайн полную версию книги

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As recently as a couple of years ago, I didn’t think I’d be writing a book like this. I had the idea of Kay riding a dragon and dodging cops, but back then the story was different and she had a different name. And it didn’t work. Then I changed her name to Kay and made her a teenager, and the pieces of the story all came together.

Around that same time, Anne Hoppe emailed me to ask if I’d ever thought of writing a young-adult novel. “Why, funny you should ask,” I replied. So, first off, I’d like to thank Anne for that email, which was sort of like the universe telling me I was on the right track.

I’d also like to thank all the usual suspects: Mike Bateman, for reading an earlier draft; Rob and Deb for doing the same; Ashley and Carolyn Grayson; Mom and Dad; and the local gang for getting me out of the house.
